On April 13, the Peace Academy Rhineland-Palatinate organized a two-hour workshop as part of the long-standing student exchange between the Otto Hahn Gymnasium Landau and a partner school in Zagreb, Croatia. This year's working theme of the exchange is "Prejudices and their consequences" and focuses in particular on questions of nationality, belonging and social power relations.

During the encounters in Zagreb and Landau, the 16 to 17-year-old students will acquire specialist knowledge and explore the topic in various workshops. Annalena Groppe organized a workshop for the Peace Academy on the connection between prejudices, categories of difference, power structures and structural violence. The participants reflected on their own social positioning and discussed how this is linked to opportunities for action, perceptions and experiences.

A particular focus was on the question of the extent to which prejudices have grown historically and are stabilized by social continuities. A video example of "Reverse Racism" was used as the basis for a lively and sometimes controversial discussion. Different assessments in particular opened up productive moments for a change of perspective - beyond national affiliations and in joint reflection on power, discrimination and responsibility.
